To outsiders, Nanny Gui's words "intact virgin" might not mean anything, but to Feng Yuheng and the others, it was like a bolt of lightning. She even saw that Lu Song was obviously surprised, and although he hid it immediately, a trace of it was still visible.
Seeing Feng Yuheng's puzzled expression, Nanny Gui looked helpless. She seemed to want to say something, but Feng Yuheng stopped her with a wave of her hand. She just turned her head and said to Yao Shu, "My eldest cousin personally accompanied me there. I believe he should know the whole story. Now that the case of Lü Cuo has been closed and the honor bestowed by the palace has been reviewed, the happy event is still a happy event. I believe that my grandfather and my uncle and aunt will not pursue it anymore."
Yao Shu looked at Feng Yuheng gratefully, and then took Lu Yao to face the Yao family, and both knelt down. Lu Yao took the initiative to kowtow to everyone in the Yao family, and said: "My wife came in today, but she didn't expect the servants around her to cause so much trouble to the mansion, so that this wedding banquet ended in disgrace. It's all my fault." Her words were sincere, and her eyes were also very sincere. "My wife knows that I have sinned deeply, but from now on, I will serve my parents-in-law and grandfather with peace of mind, respect my uncles and aunts, and be friendly to my brothers and sisters. I will treat the Yao family as my own home. I ask the elders to forgive Yao'er's mistakes today." After that, she kowtowed again.
The Yao family was kindhearted, and except for Yao Xian who had some calculations in his mind, Lu Yao's words softened the hearts of the others, and even Yao Jingjun could not bear to blame them any more. Yao Shu also knelt side by side with Lu Yao, and although he did not speak, his attitude was clear, and he was determined to share the hardships with his wife.
Xu was the first to lose her temper. She took two steps forward to help Lu Yao up, patted the back of her hand and said, "Good girl, stop crying. You are not to blame for what happened today. Girls should be sent off by their brothers. It is understandable that your brother was in another province and could not see you off in time, so he was anxious to come to the mansion to see you. As for the matter of the maid, good girl, listen to mother, when you hire a maid, you have to hire an honest one. It is good to have one who knows kung fu, but after all, it is inevitable that she will be bold and easily cause trouble for the master."
Lu Yao was filled with gratitude and nodded repeatedly, wiping away tears as she nodded. But then, she heard Yao Shu say, "Not only is that girl who knows Kung Fu not good, but your nanny and the other girl should also be sent back to the Lu family!"
Lu Yao was startled. The two servants were still kneeling on the ground. When they heard what Yao Shu said, they shook their heads desperately, trying to fight for themselves. But Yao Shu fiercely waved his sleeves, and his mind was made up: "You two have bad hearts. You didn't reflect on yourself when something happened, but instead threw a basin of dirty water on Sister Heng's head. It's because our sister Heng has the ability to not let you bully her. If it was someone else, wouldn't they be wronged for nothing? On the first day of entering the mansion, instead of helping your young lady to accumulate virtue, you did such a thing that damaged your virtue. Such a person is not worthy of staying in our Yao Mansion!" After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lu Song who was still kneeling at Xuan Tianhua's feet, and asked loudly: "Prime Minister Lu, do you agree with what I said?"
What else could Lu Song say at this time? Although he was a first-rank official, this first-rank official was really nothing in front of the Yao family. With Yao Xian, the uncrowned man, standing there, could he, a prime minister, hold his head up?
So he quickly agreed with Yao Shu: "My dear son-in-law, you are right, but from now on you can no longer call me Prime Minister Lu, you have to call me father-in-law."
Yao Shu nodded and said nothing, but when he looked back, he deliberately avoided the gazes of Feng Yuheng and Yao Xian. He knew that the smartest people in this family were his cousin Feng Yuheng and his grandfather Yao Xian. Since this matter had come to this, he always hoped that he could get through it peacefully.
Seeing that the case between the Yao and Lu families had been resolved and they had shaken hands and made peace, the Yao family immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare new dishes. The wedding banquet had to go on as they couldn't get embarrassed because of this matter. Moreover, someone had just died, so it might as well be resolved with a happy event.
Nanny Gui asked for her leave, and Feng Yuheng personally escorted her out of the mansion. When they were far away from the noise in the mansion, Nanny Gui pulled Feng Yuheng to the side and took two quick steps. Then she opened her mouth and apologized, "Princess, I am guilty."
Feng Yuheng asked back: "Madam, are you referring to Lu Yao's virginity?"
Gui Ma nodded, "To be honest, my lady, I lied. The young lady of the Lu family is not a virgin at all. Not only is she not a virgin, but her body has obviously been broken since she was a child. When I examined her just now, the eldest young master of the Yao family was waiting outside the screen. The young lady of the Lu family was also a person with her own ideas. As soon as I finished the examination, she immediately went around the screen and knelt down in front of the eldest young master of the Yao family. I was driven outside the house to wait, and I vaguely heard the young lady of the Lu family crying all the time. The eldest young master roared a few times at first, but then he softened. I don't know what the young lady of the Lu family said, but when the eldest young master called me in again, she took the initiative to beg me not to tell anyone about this matter. She also said that it was related to the face of the Yao family, and the Yao family was not a royal family after all. This matter was the Yao family's own business and had nothing to do with the royal family's reputation. I asked me to save him some face and not let this matter spread like wildfire and make the Yao family lose face. I had no choice but to do as the eldest young master said. Please forgive me, my lady."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly. Yao Shu had asked for the favor, so why could she blame him? This matter was ultimately the Yao family's business. She was an outsider, just a cousin. She just had to do her best and let them know what they should know. As for whether to drive them away or keep them, it was up to Yao Shu himself.
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam." She took Madam Gui's hand, "This trip is against the rules. Ah Heng is already very grateful that you are willing to make this trip. How can I ask for forgiveness?"
"Oh! Princess, you are really embarrassing me by saying that." Almost at the same time as she said this, a banknote was stuffed into her hand. Feng Yuheng said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Since my cousin doesn't want this matter to be spread, please help me deal with it."
How could the maid not understand what she meant? She quickly said, "Don't worry, Princess. The daughter-in-law of the Yao family has received honors from the palace to be able to endure this physical examination. This is the glory of the Yao family."
Feng Yuheng nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the carriage to send Nanny Gui back.
Turning around again, it was Yao Xian who followed him out and stood not far behind him. Feng Yuheng sighed, walked over and told Yao Xian what had happened, and then expressed his own opinion: "Grandpa, we can't control this matter. Yao Shu has chosen the path himself, so he can only walk on his own. But Lu Yao has entered the door, so you have to keep an eye on her. Don't let her stir up trouble in the future and let others be bullied for no reason."
"Hmph." Yao Xian's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help cursing: "What kind of face is this? How can the children of the Yao family be so stupid? With a woman like that coming into the family, how can the Yao family live in peace in the future? He may be a woman with a soft heart, but it will make the whole Yao family live in fear. He is really disappointing and incompetent!" He cursed Yao Shu, and at the same time he sighed about this era: "I really don't know what kind of brains these ancient children have, they only care about face and not substance? Isn't it disgusting that he married a woman like that?"
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, if that's the case, then you are really confused."
"Huh?" Yao Xian didn't react for a moment, "Why am I confused?"
Feng Yuheng said: "This era is so confusing! It's not that the ancient children have brain problems. Think about it, if this happened in the 21st century, would it still be a problem?"
Yao Xian was startled, and immediately understood what she meant. Yes! In ancient times, there was still the concept of physical examination, but in the 21st century, who would care whether the bride was virgin or not? People no longer had that concept in their minds. In later times, people emphasized freedom of love and marriage, and trial marriage was even more popular. Lu Yao was just born in the wrong era. If he looked at this matter from the perspective of later generations, then if Lu Yao was not crooked, whether she was virgin or not would not be something he should care about.
Thinking of this, Yao Xian felt much more relaxed, but he heard Feng Yuheng mutter to himself: "I really don't know whether the development of the times is good or bad."
Yao Xianyi smiled bitterly and pulled her back to the mansion.
When he returned, Lu Song had already stood up from the ground. Perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long, he could not walk very smoothly. But since others had come, he could not leave immediately. He hurried to Yao Jingjun and kept apologizing.
Feng Yuheng whispered to Yao Xian: "The Yao family is soft-hearted and kind-hearted. What I am most worried about is that Lu Yao will cause trouble in the future and the Yao family will not be able to respond in time."
Yao Xian had no choice. "Everyone has their own destiny. If the Yao family can grow through this, it will not be in vain for Lu Yao to enter the mansion. If she is easily taken care of by a little girl, then even if the Yao family is prosperous, it will be harmed in the future. But don't worry, after living in the deserted state for many years, the current Yao family is not the same as before. At least if something like what happened to you three happens again, the Yao family will always be able to protect those who should be protected and also have the ability to compete with them."
"Feng Yuheng nodded. That's good." The two of them said no more and walked into the main courtyard one after the other.
Feng Yuheng naturally went to talk to Xuan Tianming, but Yao Xian had been stopped by Lu Song. Lu Song was very respectful to Yao Xian, and since he made a mistake today in Lu's mansion, he didn't dare to act rashly. He respectfully apologized to Yao Xian, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yao Xian nod his head in agreement.
He had paid the compensation, but he couldn't leave right away. He looked at the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua. After all, it was the Seventh Prince who had called him here today. Now that he had collected the corpse and paid the compensation, he should go back. But he still had to say hello to Xuan Tianhua before leaving.
So Lu Song stepped forward, bowed respectfully again, and asked carefully: "Your Highness Prince Chun, what do you think of this matter... Are you satisfied with my performance?"
Xuan Tianhua also nodded out of respect.
Lu Song finally felt at ease, and said with a smile: "Then I am relieved. To be honest, I feel ashamed of the Yao family. I will get closer to them in the future."
Xuan Tianhua did not make any statement on this, but just reminded him: "It is mainly because your Lu family framed Princess Ji'an, and this matter made me very angry."
"Uh..." Lu Song thought to himself, "What Your Highness Prince Chun means is... I will personally kneel down and apologize to Princess Ji'an!"
"Compensation?" Xuan Tianhua asked, thinking to himself, "That's a good idea. Since you want to compensate, do you plan to cede land or pay compensation?"
